Research Interest
Jeanne Lafon's research expertise focuses on the sensory qualities of landscaping projects, on the sensitive experience of users and their role as co-producers of spatial qualities, but also on the consideration of different meanings by the users. landscape architects. His main research concern is the development of landscape architects' knowledge and know-how with regard to sensory qualities and immersion as a new paradigm of landscape experience. As a result, his research subjects mobilize as much expertise in landscape architecture as in the humanities or engineering sciences, particularly in acoustics.
